Our Lime and Lemon #Xmas Trees all decorated and set up at our front door!
Indoor tree in next toot in thread.

I don’t know if anyone else who wants one has not bought an #Xmas tree yet, but if you want to copy or take inspiration from what we do:
Every third year my family buys a living fruit tree to decorate which goes in the garden afterwards, and one of the thirds we buy a living #AoNZ #native #tree, and the final third we buy a pine tree (just for nostalgia once in a while).
This year is the fruit tree year and we’ll get a lemon tree, which we don’t have yet in our garden.
With the prices of dead pine trees, why not spend the same money on a living plant which will take up carbon rather than release it as it rots after Xmas? And also it’ll continue to give you joy after the #holiday season.
It gives more variety and we get to keep a whole lot of trees for our #garden!

Edit to update: We ended up getting three fruit trees since they were cheap: A Lemon, a Lime and a Plumcot.
Will post pics once they’re decorated, follow to make sure you see them, if you wish to :)

After a week of mostly cold (for SE TX), wet, cloudy weather, the sun came out yesterday and with that I was surprised again to see some late season #butterflies, mostly #monarchs and long-tailed skippers, swarming the main blooming plant remaining in the front #garden, the mistflower. Made for this one brief encounter. Sharing is caring.

Painted at the end of 2024 in Clip Studio, using my own photo from Portugal as reference. It is the palace at Monserrat, near Sintra. I struggled quite a bit with it at the time, but I still like how it came out, overall.

I used some of my own sieved compost to cover the coriander seeds.
Clearly it did not reach seed-sterilizing temperature when I made it, so most of these seedlings are NOT coriander :D
On the plus side, I think most of these are edible in some form. The tall ones might be tomatillos?

Hey just a friendly reminder since folk are doing flu and covid vax rn to not forget about TDaP! Many places recommend a fresh boost if you have a tetanus exposure and its been at least five years since your last one, and it should be boosted every 10 years regardless. While people associate tetanus with rusty nails and barb wire fencing, it lives in the soil. So if you play in the dirt (looking at cavers, gardeners, outdoorsy folk in general) you may be due sooner than you think. Folk like us often have abrasions or cuts on our hands from doing things, and then shove our hands into dirt and mud. Keep that in mind! Plus it seems like every other winter there is a new whooping cough outbreak and thats the P part of TDaP so its an easy one to forget about but a good one to stay up on.
Now that you are protected, go flip some rocks! (And make sure you gently put them back!)
